MANCHEsTER, Dec. THE Guardian says:
The market is inactive. Although prices in
most departments are surprisingly steady, they
are not uniform There is occasionally slight
weakness apart from the support derived from
forward contracts. The steadneSs of the cloth
sections seems due mainly to the fact that mar
gins are reduced to a minimum when manu-
tacturers ho'd to quotations with tenacity. In
the yarns section position is less desperate and
slight yielding has at times occurred Some
orders for China staples have been marketed at
about previous rates. Inquiry for India is in
active. A moderate business has been done in
bundled yarns FOR export and dyeing, sometimes
at slightly easier rates, but the trade in these
departments is mostly very slow. Manufac-
turerS buy Sparingly and many cannot afford to
pay current rates in view of the slackness of
the cloth market and the narrowness of margin.
Best shlrtings are firm and well engaged. Pro
ducers are not anxious for fresh business, ex-
cept at extremo prices. Some medium com
mon makers are pressed for sales, but prices
are so low relatively to the cost of production
that they show little change. Best printers are
quiet but steady. Common are little sought for.
Stocks do not lessen. Colored fancy goods are
firm. There is not much fresh demand"

Green & Co. S report on cotton futures says:
The market for cotton futures has been fairly
active, and developed stronger feeling, with
considerable recovery on yesterdays loss.
he
good offering, and evidence of a considerable
effort TO found prices, but the demand seemed
to stand ready for every Offering, and absorbed
the supply on gradual advance that reached
10(lll points over last evening. Liverpool pri-
vate advices were cheerful in tone, and this. in
conjunction with a slight shrinkage in receipts.

close point or two from top figures disap-
